Back In Time â€“ A Simple backup tool for ubuntu

Posted Wed, 2009-07-15 22:54 by gg234

Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux inspired from â€œflyback projectâ€ and â€œTimeVaultâ€.The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of directories.Keep in mind that Back In Time is just a GUI. The real magic is done by rsync (take snapshots and restore), diff (check if somethind changed) and cp (make hardlinks).

Back In Time acts as a â€œuser modeâ€ backup system. This means that you can backup/restore only folders you have write access to (actually you can backup read-only folders, but you canâ€™t restore them).
